I could always use recommendations when it comes to more Shounen-ai/Yaoi!!
So what is everyone reading and watching?Â ^^

Edit:
Wow, I forgot I even started this topic.
So um yeah, revised list.

Tsubasa of course. KuroxFai yummyness XD
Hmm... if I have to say others, I say Legal Drug and Gravitation.

The only yaoi that really made me squeal "Cute!" was Tsuzuki and Hisoka in Yami no Matsuei (Descendants of Darkness). ^^

Okamirei · « **Reply #2 on:** July 21 2005, 01:19 pm »

hm...Gohou Drug, Tokyo Babylon, CCS for Touya x Yukito, and X/1999 if you count Kamui and Fuuma

Sakaki · « **Reply #3 on:** July 21 2005, 01:30 pm »

I just started reading X.
I've read the first book.
I haven't looked at Yami no Matsuei, sounds interesting though.

Here's a cool guide I found at Amazon.com

Interesting!

Manga: Fake! and Only The Ring Finger Knows (That was all I read so far)

Anime: Gravitation and Tokyo Babylon

Sakaki · « **Reply #5 on:** July 21 2005, 02:25 pm »

I want to read Fake! I just really don't like the art style.
If it's really good though........I'll give it a chance.
Or maybe the anime is better?

AsleepbyDawn · « **Reply #6 on:** July 21 2005, 02:42 pm »

The anime is short but the manga is super better. You know what could have been an awsome Shonen AI is Petshop of Horrors because of Lenon and Count D's relationship. You should also check out Model. It has some Shonen AI moments.

Pikari · « **Reply #7 on:** July 21 2005, 03:05 pm »

I'll second Gravitation and Legal Drug for sure.

Boys Next Door is a favorite. It's by Kaori Yuki, author of Angel Sanctuary. A short read and awesome story, if somewhat gory and disturbing...

Sakura Crisis has some other shounen-ai/yaoi stories worth checking out... I haven't read all of them. Love Mode is pretty good, though, erm... graphic at times, and the scanlation quality isn't the best.

Sakaki · « **Reply #8 on:** July 21 2005, 07:51 pm »

Oooh, interesting links!
Thanks everyone!
Anyone else have any favourites?

Kitsune-chan · « **Reply #9 on:** July 25 2005, 12:17 pm »

Seishirou x Subaru in both Tokyo Babylon and x/1999
seeing how you've just started reading X...

Show content

Seishirou finally declares his love for Subaru in the end in vol 16...when his spell backfires in killing Subaru *sobs*

and Gohou drug, yup.

fisah · « **Reply #10 on:** July 26 2005, 02:55 pm »

Loveless, hmm, I actually like it alot, its more of peodephile shonen ai, but its still cute, and I just adore little boys in cat ears

I also like CCS/Tsubasa and maybe xxxHolic, I know it isn't that official, but I still like it, um, I also like D.N. Angel, Satoshi/Daisuke was crazy, lmao, but I thought it was cute, it wasn't my OTP though

Ruby Chan · « **Reply #11 on:** July 26 2005, 09:22 pm »

I like Tokyo Bablon and X (Subaru and Seishirou) and X with Kmaui and Fuuma (did a amv about their love)

I also like...
Gravitation
TRC (*KuroFai* ahem...and Touya/Yukito)
Legal Drug (although not really shonen-ai)
Fake (the anime is much worse than the manga)
CCs (Touya and Yuktio)

I also read Desire, by Maki Kazumi and Yukine Honami. It's a yaoi one, so there are one or 2 explicit scenes, but overall it's a sweet read if you ignore them.

It's basically about

Show content

a boy who has a crush on his jock of a friend, but doens't want to admit it in case of losing his friendship. But his jock friend gets curious about ummm...gay 'love', and asks if the boy will help him satisfy that curiosity. The boy has to choose between the physical side of a relationship, or having nothing at all.

Actually have you gotten very far into the series?
The last book that came out would qualify, I'd say.

Ruby Chan · « **Reply #13 on:** July 28 2005, 06:50 am »

Are you talking about book 3?

I can't remember for sure....is that the newest?
Can't remember if book four is out off the top of my head.
It's the one about the boy's school. My favourite book.

Ruby Chan · « **Reply #15 on:** July 28 2005, 07:00 am »

Book 4 isn't out yet, I think. But in 3, they went to that school and had the ring trouble...but anyway, I've been reading translations...no idea of what pictures look like, because I'm already buying too many manga series, and I couldn't find any online scanlations. So maybe I didn't get the full picture.

Lol, you missed Kazahaya in a dress, twice!!
And, yeah, if you read the translations, then you aren't seeing a lot.
Much of the emotion is expressed in the pictures in this series.

The guy who sends them on all their "jobs" is absolutely in a relationship with his "bodyguard". They are shown throughout the books showing affection to each other, and you are missing the awesome chapter opening photos, you've got to see those! And I think Kazahaya and Rikuo have more going on as each chapter goes.

I'm going to try and find you the chapter openings!

Ruby Chan · « **Reply #17 on:** July 28 2005, 07:18 am »

Thankyou so much! Although I found a few interesting images online already....take a look!

Oh, you found my very favourite Legal Drug picture!!

I almost made a signature out of this one quite a while ago!
Kazahaya looks so adorable!

Okamirei · « **Reply #19 on:** July 28 2005, 11:28 am »

I thought CLAMP was putting gohou drug on haitus?

I sure hope not, I really love this series, and it crosses over with XxxHolic and a few other Clamp manga.

Xiao_Lang · « **Reply #21 on:** July 30 2005, 04:07 am »

I love gohou! its so cute! please don't stop it CLAMP!

I also got 'only the ring finger knows' today. that is a VERY cute Shonen-ai manga, it was beautiful! such a shame its a stand alone (I think so anyway) I wanted more! lol so good!

Really funny and a lot going on in this one.

Ruby Chan · « **Reply #27 on:** July 31 2005, 07:55 pm »

I love Kazahaya! Although the other ones are great too....hard choice!

Pikari · « **Reply #28 on:** August 01 2005, 03:36 am »

I don't know about a favorite character yet Kazahaya and Rikuo are both pretty cool. But I like Saiga, too, especially his comments... and the sunglasses! XD

augustserenade · « **Reply #29 on:** January 08 2006, 06:28 am »

Wow, newly discovered yaoi anime/manga: Haru wo Daiteita!

I saw scans on a yaoi site, then desperately searched for what the series was. By the time I found out what it's called and looked for scanlations, it was already licensed and they were taken offline. T__T I've read a few translations though, and it's sweet. Right now I'm downloading the 1st OVA... can't wait till it's finished! There's also a movie called 'Winter Cicada.'

LSD · « **Reply #30 on:** January 08 2006, 12:57 pm »

Loveless!!!! *yeyeye* I love it!

i'm reading right now cripson spells too.. but is that the cool i thought it will be

I'm looking right now for Okage na gai, i looked some pics and are just cool and read the a summary and i think this is really worth to see.

Kouryuu · « **Reply #31 on:** January 21 2006, 01:52 am »

YAOI manga: Sensitive pornograph!! =)~~~ koi wa itsumo arashi no you ni
Shounen ai manga: loveless, lawful drug, mirage of blaze
Yaoi anime: Dunno
Shounen ai anime: gravitation, saiyuki (yeaaaah!! we have to agree that minekura makes it like a shounen ai, i mean GokuxSanzou, HakkaixGojyou, and the main proof in Gaiden, with Kenren and Tenpou!! (evenÂ little Goku and Konzen)

edit:: ohhhhhhhhh i forget!!!!! kyou kara maou!!

Jeannette · « **Reply #32 on:** January 21 2006, 02:08 am »

My faves:
Tokyo Babylon and X (Sei-chan no Baka! (Sob, Sob) Why couldn't you have told him before?!)
Legal Drug
Tsubasa (It counts because it has TouyaxYuki and Sei-chanxSu-kun, and I just know KuroxFai will be canon)
xxxHOLiC (WatanukixDoumeki is so canon. Dammit, it is.)
Fake (This is the yaoi series with which I corrupted my friends. Very fun.)
Fruits Basket (Hatsuharu is in love with Yuki! And Shigure and Ayame are always making insinuations! And lots of other insinuations abound! It totally counts!)
Gravitation (Yuki is such an a-hole, but we love him.)
Eerie Queerie
Only the Ring Finger Knows

Sabrina · « **Reply #33 on:** January 21 2006, 03:49 am »

Gravitation and Yami no Matsuei

...hmmm...my friend have some Fake manga albums...maybe I should go visit to her and read those books next.. hee, next time when Meza is doing another archonia-ordering I'll buy yami no matsuei-books

(wel...1-9 books because 10-11 havent' yet been puplished...)

I'll just add CCS, Gravitation, and Lawful Drug to Haru wo Daiteita. I also have read a few one shots by Chi-ran/Shi-ran. And I just started reading Fake. ^^
